About the Role

We’re looking for an Applied Science Intern to contribute to the future of Applied Science at Ramp. The Applied Science team at Ramp creates value by optimizing core leverage points across the business and owning the models powering decision-making. You will need to have a head for strategy & cross-functional collaboration since you will partner closely with business & product stakeholders to prioritize, execute, and drive results. You will also partner closely with the rest of the data team and the engineering team to design, implement, and maintain data science models in production.

Applied scientists at Ramp focuse on solving quantitative problems across credit, fraud, growth, and our core product by applying the right mix of causal inference, structural modeling, and optimization.

What You’ll Do

  • Develop Ramp’s research and experimentation frameworks by creating causal inference-based models and tools to drive analysis
  • Full stack data science development: from upstream data modeling and cleaning to research and prototyping to deploying and monitoring models in production
  • Leverage a combination of causal inference, structural modeling, and optimization to build key models to solve core business problems
  • Design, implement, and evaluate statistically-sound experiments to measure the causal impact of treatments and interventions

  • Experience working with large datasets
  • Knowledge of SQL (preferably Redshift, Snowflake, BigQuery)
  • Python experience (numpy, pandas, sklearn, pytorch etc.) across exploratory data analysis, predictive modeling, and applications of ML techniques
  • Strong communication: the ability to bridge technical methodology to meaningful data narratives to drive company decisions and strategy
  • Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, constantly improving start-up environment that focuses on solving problems with iterative technical solutions

Nice to Haves

  • Experience at a high-growth startup
  • Strong perspective on data science engineering development cycle (data modeling, version control, documentation + testing, best practices for codebase development)
  • Familiarity with data orchestration platforms (Airflow, Dagster, Prefect)

Benefits (for U.S.-based full-time employees)

  • 100% medical, dental & vision insurance coverage for you
    • Partially covered for your dependents
